Sports are for girls too!

It's the first of the month which means time for a new challenge over at St Luke's and what with all the commotion going on over here regarding the little sporting event that's going on somewhere down south ;-) there really was only one challenge we could do this month - sports! So anything sporty goes this month - I've gone girly with my image, just as a reminder that sports are just for the fella's - girls like them too! Myself I'm rather partial to a bit of tennis but am hating "Wimbledon" in garish Olympic colours, and as I couldn't find a girly American Football player (yeah I like that too cos I'm a bit weird!) I decided to go with one of our medal hopefuls - Sarah Stevenson who will be competing in Taekwondo (and gave the athletes pledge in the Opening Ceremony) is from a village not far from Sheffield so I'll be cheering very loudly when she struts her stuff on the mat! (Not sure this is an accurate representation of Taekwondo but it's close enough to get my meaning!)

The image is Magnolia from the Winner Takes All collection, coloured with copics and fussy cut. The flags are a stamped image from Dimension Fourth stamps (a local company but with online presence and really interesting stamps) again coloured with copics and cut out to form the background. The sentiment is computer generated. Very simple card but still packs a punch (yes bad pun intended!)

I'm going to enter it into the following challenges as well as it being the inspiration of our challenge at St Lukes:
